Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the requirement for a Chartered Accountant (CA) certificate when claiming GST refunds, specifically concerning Rule 89(2)(m) and Statement 7 under Rule 89(2)(k). It explains that a CA certificate is generally not required for refunds from the electronic cash ledger, even if the balance exceeds Rs. 2 lakh, as the concept of passing on the tax incidence to the recipient doesn't apply. However, for other refund types exceeding Rs. 2 lakh, a CA certificate may be necessary to prove the tax incidence has been passed on.

Yes under Rule 89(2)(k) , the CA certificate is required if Refund claim exceeds 2lac rupees. (refer Annexure A of point 8 of Circular 125 )
Kindly Refer the proviso under clause (m) of Rule 89(2) of CGST Act , states that CA certificate is not required in respect of cases cover under clause (a) to (d) & (f) of Section 54 of CGST Act .
So this clauses do not cover "refund from cash Ledger"

CA certificate not required for cash ledger refunds

Pankaj ji ....what about 1st proviso of section 54 and 1st proviso of rule 89 and CA zafer how its not required?
Dear Tarun Rawat
According to your Query : The Refund u/r 89(2)(k) is " Amount claim on account of Excess payment of Tax " & Refund from cash Ledger is 2 different clause under which refund is claimed.

First of all point is arises where the CA certificate is required :
1. When the refund is more then 2lac & where the taxpayer is required to proof that the incidence of tax is passed to Recepient.

Now the refund from Cash Ledger , it' is belong to Taxpayer (Taxpayer money) so the Question of incidence of tax passed to Recepient is not arises.

Moreover In term of proviso under Section 54(1) r/w Rule 89(1) Of CGST Act , the the refund from cash ledger can be claimed accordance to the section 49((6) & as per section 49(6) the refund from cash Ledger can be claimed through the return filed in GSTR 3 for the relevant period . That means after being set-off your liability , the refund can be claimed from cash ledger once your return for the relevant period has been filed.

But due to Non implementation of GSTR 3 , the RFD01 is required to file refund from cash ledger.

Thus in short to claim refund from cash ledger not required the CA cerification.
